| 2018-20409 | Rescission of Regulations Implementing the Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Provisions of the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Department of Labor proposes to remove regulations for an inoperative program while continuing to require non- discrimination and equal-employment opportunity under its programs. The Department is undergoing a process of identifying regulations that are "outdated" and "unnecessary." The regulations to be rescinded by the proposed rule are "outdated" because they administer a program that no longer exists. And they are "unnecessary" because they currently serve no purpose, as their existence or non-existence has no impact on the Department's enforcement of non-discrimination standards under its existing programs. In particular, the Department proposes to rescind its regulations implementing Section 167 of the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982, as amended (JTPA). Section 167 contained the nondiscrimination and equal-opportunity provisions of the JTPA. In 1998, Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which repealed the JTPA and required the Secretary of Labor to transition any authority under the JTPA to the system that WIA created. WIA, in turn, was subsequently altered by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). In sum, the proposed rule removes regulations for an inoperative program, but has no impact on existing non-discrimination rules. | 2018-09-26 | 2018 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/09/26/2018-20409/rescission-of-regulations-implementing-the-nondiscrimination-and-equal-opportunity-provisions-of-the | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-09-26/pdf/2018-20409.pdf | Labor Department | 271 | The U.S. Department of Labor proposes to remove regulations for an inoperative program while continuing to require non- discrimination and equal-employment opportunity under its programs.
